The Housewife Theologian

It seems that before I joined Carl and Todd on the MoS podcast, they managed to offend (I know, shocking) the Confessing Baptists. Basically, in a discussion about ecclesiology, they neglected to mention the confessing Baptists altogether. And so Tom Chantry wrote a post that took issue with his...

The MoS crew really get into the celebratory spirit this year. Something Todd said recording our Easter podcast made me want to outfit the three of us in the latest craze. That’s right, look out Cadbury bunny, and say hello to Janimals. Our producer caught us in the action. Unfortunately, that’s...

It’s lines like this that remind me why I...

We currently are going through Genesis in my women’s Bible study class at church. This week Joseph entered the scene. As we were discussing his integrity and character, my teacher read this quote from James Montgomery Boice’s commentary on Genesis: In the chapters of Genesis that follow, nothing...

The Westminster Bookstore has a really great event lined up to launch Kevin DeYoung’s new book, Taking God At His Word . If you are free on April 25, and are anywhere near driving distance to Glen Mills, PA, this will be time well spent. Listen to all you will enjoy for a mere 15 bucks (This is the...

Is it okay for a Christian to smoke weed? This is a pertinent question now that Colorado and Washington have led the way in legalizing recreational marijuana. Andy Crouch has written an article for Christianity Today titled, “ You’re Free to Toke Up. But Don’t. ” He says that where it is legal,...
